Harold Bloom described Saramago as "the greatest living novelist" and considers him to be "a permanent part of the Western canon (Evans, 2002).

The Notebook is a unique glimpse into the candid ruminations of one of the most talented living writers" (Flavorwire ). "Impenitently enraged and tender" (Umberto Eco ).
